The food and service were outstanding. The food was full of flavours and a different experience to whatever we ate before. The presentation of the food was beautiful and the information that we got about from whereabouts the idea of the creation came was exceptional, unique. It's a real experiences, adventure for your taste. We didn't like the fact, that they just put the 12.5% of tip on the top, and a charity fee for a school. And the wines were overpriced, well overpriced. There are better wines, with much more bouquet and much cheaper than their wines. The atmosphere, especially the view and gardens here are exceptional! A beautiful place to spend the sunset!

We left this restaurant extremely disappointed. The food was genuinely underwhelming. For a venue positioned at this price point, the quality was shockingly average. Most dishes lacked refinement and depth, and absolutely did not justify the final bill. A deposit is required in advance, which we accepted as standard practice. However, given the mediocre food, the overall pricing felt excessive and disproportionate. What made the experience particularly uncomfortable was the service approach. Gratuity was already automatically included in the bill, yet the waiter mentioned leaving additional tips multiple times throughout the evening. Repeatedly requesting extra tips when service charge is already applied feels inappropriate for an establishment of this level. We also asked for a small sparkling water, but were continuously refilled without clear explanation and later charged as if we had consumed two large bottles. This lack of clarity in billing added to the frustration. Overall, the evening felt overly focused on maximizing charges rather than delivering genuine hospitality. Sadly, this experience did not match the reputation or pricing of the restaurant.

A fabulous restaurant in a magnificent setting! Absolutely stunning views, cozy, elegant restaurant with peaceful ambiance. A special experience. The service was outstanding. We were warmly accepted without a reservation. The short rib dish was impeccable, melt in the mouth. My salmon was unfortunately slightly overcooked, thought still flavorful. My best description of the overall dining experience is that it brought an overwhelming sense of peace, joy and satisfaction.
